Antonio Conte has hit back at Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann in excess of his appreciate for Harry Kane.
Unlike last summer months, Kane is settled in north London and not looking to depart his boyhood club.
The England forward was greatly pursued by Manchester City but Tottenham held company around his valuation and immediately after a gradual start out to the subsequent period, Kane scored 27 goals and assisted a additional 10 to aid their successful Champions League qualification bid.
Manchester Metropolis quickly moved their notice to Erling Haaland and hence the area of prospective suitors for Kane was minimized to only a pick couple, which include Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
The sale of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona fuelled speculation that Kane could swap him – though the Bavarians introduced Sadio Mane in from Liverpool – with several Bayern executives publicly discussing a achievable transfer.
Nagelsmann was requested about the situation not long ago and finished his answer by stating: “We’ll see what happens in the future.”
“Honestly I didn’t listen to this,” Conte explained when requested about Nagelsmann’s responses.
